Chapter 84 - The other type (2/2)
There were seven zombies just standing completely still and they are all looking at us except for the one by the window. They never moved, they never breathed and they never did…anything. They all just... stared. They still have several bitemarks on their bodies and the blood on their clothes are dried and black. A few bits and pieces of their body is on the floor and it is like a Pollock painting.
”Is this what I felt from before?” I said to myself.
”Are this the completely still ones?” Dong said.
”Yeah, it's really off-putting seeing them this close.” I said.
”What do we do? Kill them now?” My uncle said.
”Wait a moment. I'll call Oscar. Close the door first.” I said.
*bzzt*
”Oscar? This is Sky, copy?”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
”Kid? Copy.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
”Contact Rod for me, will you? We found seven of those still ones in the Pineda residence. Ask him if he needs more samples.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
”Roger.”
*bzzt*
While we waited, I opened the other door and we saw a meeting room but there was no one inside. It has a long table with chairs and a monitor and at the far back is an isolated room separated by a glass door. I went inside the glass door and I found a note in the table.
”To anyone that might stumble upon this house in the future, please, just do it for me. There's a gun inside the safe behind the painting. Please, I can't pull the trigger, they're family. Why us?! Why am I the only one left?! Why?! This is unfair!”
I left the note there and looked behind the painting. There's an unlocked safe with the keys to this place and a revolver with a box of ammunition sitting inside. It appears to might have contain more but it was already taken. I took a look at the family picture in the desk and I saw everyone inside the other door except one, Karen Ann Pineda.
”Could she be the one looking from the window on the other door last time? But there was a zombie at the spot now.” I said to myself.
*bzzt*
”Kid, he said that they have enough samples. Besides, it's too far.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
”Okay, I'll dispose of them then. There's still an unknown risk of these things being here if we left them alone here.”
*bzzt*
*bzzt*
”Sure kid.”
*bzzt*
”Do we just kill them here then?” asked Dong.
”No, we kill them outside. Let's cover them with blankets first and tie them just to be sure. They're doing nothing for now and we'll be cleaning the houses later so let's just do it outside.” I said.
”Can't we just leave them here?” my uncle said.
”I won't bet on the risk that they would stay like that forever. Remember the videos? The effects progress after an indeterminate amount of time. Who knows, they might move around in a few days and infect people. However, we have never seen normal zombies turn to this type or the sprinters.” I said.
I looked at the seven bodies and I noticed something peculiar. Their eyes are moving. When they see a moving person, their eyes follow. I started walking from left to right and their pupils follow me though they never did anything else. The two saw what was happening and they tried to do the same. What's weird was their pupils could look at different directions like a chameleon. I felt chills run down my spine everytime their eyes move in different directions.
”This is really weird.” Dong said.
I readied my bullpup rifle just in case they move while the two covered them with blankets and tied their arms. It took a while but we finally led them below.
”Bro, what's that?!” Jared asked while he saw the figures covered in blankets.
”Those still ones, I think we'll call them sentries, you should see their eyes. I'll kill them outside.” I said.
